Today I ordered roses to be delivered to my lady's work. The phone service was beyond excellent. She was patient with me with having noise in the back from a construction project. The flowers were delivered very quickly and they looked amazing. My lady was very happy. Great experience and will use them for now on. Thank you

My wife and I ordered our flowers from here for our elopement and they were picture perfect! I could not imagine a better boutonnière and my wife's bouquet was exactly what she wanted and they were able to make it happen solely from her description over the phone. Thank you for the beautiful flowers and helping to make our day (and photos) so wonderful!

Summary: phone order of flowers were never delivered to recipient. just so happens we found out because I asked the recipient of they got them. AWKWARD.
Long story: I purchased a bouquet of flowers on behalf of 12 people to be delivered to a colleague. I placed the order several days before the date of delivery to ensure product would be available. I paid $8 extra for delivery fee. The flowers were NOT delivered to my colleague on the date of delivery. An awkward conversation had been had to figure out the flowers were never delivered to my colleague. I called to inquire and the store was not

I am so impressed, best florist in SLO! I ordered the Designers choice for my 93-year-old grandma's birthday and she said it was the most beautiful bouquet she's gotten in her life. I will be ordering here again, thank you!

We received a bouquet as a "thanks for hospitality" gift, and it is absolutely the most outstanding arrangement I have ever seen. Gorgeous blend of a huge variety of blossoms! Kudos!!!

While enjoying the SLO downtown experience that we love, we came across this little flower shop with the most beautiful flowers. After talking with them for a few minutes I was so disappointed in the condescending tone that they used. The way that they spoke to me and their rudeness was so very disappointing. We always try to support small, local businesses but unfortunately the flowers were not enough to make up for the horrible service.

Valentines Day is probably their busiest day, and despite the small space everyone did a lovely job putting things together. I picked up some beautiful roses for my better half and one of the ladies helped guide me to select just the right ones. I appreciate everyone's help.

Okay so not cheap but why should they be when the flower arrangements are so lovely and the flowers last so long :)?
I love walking by and treating myself or friends to their lovely arrangements. Service is also great - very friendly and kind.

I can’t say enough good things about Open Air Flowers. I use them on a regular basis for flowers and they create beautiful arrangements based on what I’m looking for every time. They’ve always accommodated my last minute requests and the arrangements last for at least a week.

I can't say enough great things about Lisa, Leslie and Vance at Open Air Flowers. Due to Covid, I had to plan our elopement within a month. They were not only able to accommodate my date and requests, but they went above and beyond to make sure they got my vision exactly right. Unfortunately for them, my vision included all summer and spring blooms.. but our wedding was in September. I can't tell you how blown away I was at how they created such gorgeous, romantic floral pieces that fit exactly what I was hoping for! They followed up several times before the big day, and Vance did an

I stopped by on a Friday to order 25 red roses for my 25th wedding anniversary. The staff was friendly and explained that the only red roses they had were "garden roses" which should last longer than the more traditional roses that I was accustomed to. Since that was all they had, I agreed and ordered 25 of them to be picked up later that afternoon. I made it very clear that it was my 25th anniversary and I needed 25 roses (you probably see where this is going). When I got them home, something looked off and I counted the roses - 22! Not even a full two dozen! I called the shop to see

My sister called from Ohio to order flowers for my birthday. She had a great conversation with the florist about what was in season in CA and described things she enjoyed in an arrangement. The florist took it from there. It was the most stunning arrangement I have ever seen. This is day 11 and I have only had to remove 1 flower. Both my sister and I are extremely happy with the service, the flowers and the very creative arrangement. BTW, my sister is also a florist!

Called Open Air when they opened at 9am, told the florist what I wanted delivered and she had it out on the first delivery truck of the morning! Girlfriend said it was the most beautiful bouquet she has ever received and it was at a great price compared to other florists. 10/10 will use again and recommend.

I received the most beautiful bouquet from Open Air Flowers!! They delivered them right to my house & were exactly how my boyfriend had explained to the florist. I have bought/received several other flower arrangements from various other florist in SLO and Open Air's has them beat by miles!! They are absolutely stunning & their prices are better than the other floral shops!!

The best value for your dollar, and not the cheapest. I ordered this bouquet for our anniversary, and it was worth every penny. I've used Open Air Flowers before, and I'll use them many times again. Thanks Lori for your excellent work!

Leslie absolutely saved the day for me and I could not recommend her enough. Please don't do what I did to poor Leslie and call her 45 minutes before I needed a beautiful sophisticated yet simple bouquet for my wedding! She did it with ease, but give the gal a bit more time than I did!

Called her up in a tizzy, asked for a bouquet featuring Hydrangeas and she made me a sturdy, gorgeous, elegant and most importantly unique bouquet. Everyone was ooh-ing and aaah-ing over it and I could not be more pleased with it.

Thanks again Leslie!!

I love open air. Lisa was extraordinary in taking my flower order. I showed up 20 mins before closing and she took time to explain varieties and options all while helping other customers.
I threw a lot of complications her way during the check out process the following day. I didn't end up going with the custom arrangement I ordered (which I felt very tacky doing). I saw something in the display case that I loved more and although it's not recommended I was able to take the arrangement I liked better home. I paid part cash and part card. I had a lot of questions....
